Russia’s oil flows to Europe through Turkey to circumvent Western sanctions

Sharm El -Sheikh (Egypt) – Turkey has turned into a way to deviate from Russian energy exports to the European Union countries, which constitutes a penetration of Western sanctions on the Russian oil sector, including European sanctions, but at the same time it questions the credibility of the European side while accepting a banned oil that knows its source.

An independent research center said on Wednesday that Russia is achieving less revenues than its fossil energy exports, noting that Turkey’s role in the continued flow of Russian oil to Europe.
This report, issued by the Center Four Reservation of Energy & Clean Air, came in Finland after Ukraine targeted on Tuesday with intense Russian bombing that affected energy facilities and an unknown missile in Poland.

“Was it to happen if the Russians did not get funding? Everyone realizes that the answer is not,” said Economic Adviser to Ukrainian President Folodimir Zellinski.
“It is unacceptable that they continue to obtain about 700 million euros per day of fossil energy”, calling for the adoption of a ceiling for Russian energy prices and the immediate ban on all repeated products that come from Russia.

“The European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries, including Turkey, should prohibit this,” he said.
The report stated that Russia achieved 21 billion euros of fossil energy exports in October, a decrease of 7 percent compared to September, with the exception of liquefied natural gas.
The revenues caused by exports to the European Union, on its part, fell 14 percent to 7. 4 billion euros, and below the pre -invasion levels last February.

The European Union decided to impose a gradual ban on Russian oil imports and oil products, with few exceptions. He has stopped his purchases of charcoal, but Russian gas that depends on him is not very concerned yet.
The center warned, through a new survival, through which Russian oil passes to Western countries. “It shows a new way of Russian oil to the European Union via Turkey, where increasing quantities of Russian crude are repeated.


Turkey has increased its imports of Russian crude since the invasion of Ukraine. Exports of oil materials from Turkish territory to European and American ports increased by 85 percent in September and October compared to last July and August, according to the report.
“While the European Union will prohibit crude oil exports from Russia on December 5th, this gap may become great,” the report said.

The center considered that it is “very necessary” to the European Union and the United States to impose a tougher banner while dispensing with oil products issued by refining stations using Russian crude..
